Your friend, Pervert note man arrested

Police in Kennebunk, Maine, say they have charged a man in connection with notes signed "Pervert" that were left in mailboxes last week.

Notes were left in two mailboxes saying: "I will not stay away from your kids. Your friend, Pervert." A third note was found in an Arundel mailbox on Monday.

A surveillance camera captured images of the man placing the note in one of the mailboxes.
Police said they have charged Robert C. Simkowitz, 39, of Old Orchard Beach, with two counts of criminal threatening.

Kennebunk police said they worked with Old Orchard Beach police to identify Simkowitz as a suspect after getting leads from the public.
Simkowitz is scheduled to appear in Biddeford District Court on Sept. 3.
